So who will be the first to CHICKEN OUT?
« on: June 09, 2010, 07:58:52 pm »
They've both said they were going to do it.

They've both said they'd do it if the other one did.

So here's the question.

I predict one of them will chicken out first and provide coverage to the other.

I mean really, have you seen the video?


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IsRbipctKTk&feature=fvw

Ain't a snow balls chance in hell I'd be doing this, but what the heck, the crazier they are the harder they fall!  (Or something like that!)

So cast your vote.

Will Jan wet herself and back out?

Will Will puke and claim weakness?

Or will these two crazy fools actually do it? 

Stay tuned.

Let's add something else into the mix...what if Basquo offers to jump in their stead if thye chicken out...jump for BOTH of them? As in...Twice if they both chicken out?

Because I made my reservation today, and with or without Santi I will be there (he's still asking off)  so let's just get this out of the way Thursday while I'm waiting for my 3pm check-in time.

One or both chicken out, I jump once or twice on your tab. I chicken out, I owe you one jump's price. Really, you can't lose; from what I understand you could gain 3X a jump's price if we all chicken out.

Roll 'em, Babycakes.

NOPE no deal! They both committed to doing it and so they must.  While I appreciate your gesture to stand in their shoes it's a no go.

Annie and Will MUST follow through.

BTW, I can"t tell you how excited I am that you'll be coming to LV. :-*

That looks like no bungie jump I've ever seen - too controlled and too easy. Amateurs.

Whatever Pansies!  I'm committed. Two Vodka MArtinis, shaken not stirred, will get me down just fine.

However, in the interest of full disclosure I thought the Strat was shorter than The Tower of Americas here in San Antonio.... It's not (note to self- do your research first). So I do get butteflies already when I look at the Tower here in SA. I think I will take a few trips to the top to "Train" for the Strat.

I'm assuming I'm allowed to empty my bladder on the way down?

I have no doubt Jan will chicken out and I will be the "King of the Strat" :)

Bring it bitches.

For some reason, I think they'll both go "off the cliff" together, holding hands. What I'm wondering, though, is who'll be the one with their "foot on the gas pedal"?

Chances of them going off are just as strong (very) as the chance of me waiting at the bar afterward with courage/bladder  refills for both !

Goodluck - Will and Jan-- you can do it! :)

I don't expect either to chicken out -- too much at stake now, plus we all know that Jan will go to any length to avoid a "wee walk" anywhere...............   ;)  ;D

It perhaps may take more than a single bottle.  I dont think the actual "going down" will bother me (it rarely does), But i think the few minutes standing on that little ledge looking down at the city is going to do me in.
But on the upside, I usually get naked when I drink, so If I make it to the bottom in one piece, the clothes are going to come off.

In another matter, it's come to my attention that the deck may be stacked against me, as an unnamed source has advised me that Jan may be a "professional" jumper....apparently it's possible that she may have previously jumped off a tower in Aukland????

I'm afraid you have been misinformed Will, I have never jumped from the Sky Tower in Auckland...however I did do a parachute jump when I was 28, but that was 33 years ago.. ;D

I want to very badly but the timing just isn't right, I've been interviewing for new jobs and the first week of august looks like it will be my first week.  I'm sure you guys will have a lot of fun.  One of you can just take a picture of me with you and right some smarmy quote on it and it will be practically identical to me being there.

I'm with you on that one CaptCarl.

Everytime I watch that video I get the heebee jeebees.  Seriously.  It makes my stomach turn.

Now it appears we've got four fools  who are willing/wanting to do it:  Jan, Will, Basquo, and Robert.

I'm not particularly afraid of heights, but just being up on that platform and looking down is probably going to do me in.

You're as crazy and misguided as the rest of them.   :P

And don't even get me started on who's the "big pot stirrer".

(BTW  Aren't you supposed to be on a plane to Paris?  Why the hell are you slumming around with us?   ???)

Will to answer your question.  I said from the very beginning:

Ain't a snow balls chance in hell I'd be doing this, but what the heck, the crazier they are the harder they fall!  (Or something like that!)

That doesn't prohibit me from gently encouraging others though.   ;)  However, if that thing wasn't so damn frightening I'd be willing to PUSH each and everyone of you!

I'm sure that I don't know WHAT the hell you're talking about on "big pot stirrer" -- I would NEVER do that.   ;D

As for Paris -- we leave on Aug 7th.  so I'll be expecting some real time updates from Vegas prior to my departure.

Hugs,

For those afraid to jump ... Just skip a day or two of your antidepressants , I hear that makes it much easier to jump off tall buildings .

Good on you.  (Are you serious?  You'd actually  make that jump?  You're a better person than I am I'll give you that!)  Thanks buddy/gal (gender uncertain), for addressing the anxieties of an old fool.

I'm so serious about jumping . I bungee jump and have been hang gliding in tandem . Stuff like that scares me and that makes me want to do it all the more . I was waiting for my tax rebate that hasn't come as of yet and really wanted to join the fun but will have to make it the next time .

There would be more reason to be afraid if the newspapers were filled with accounts of how guests hurled themselves to their demise off the top of the Stratosphere, but actually everyone survives and most say that "it is a rush!"  Keep that in mind...

That having been said, I am still only on the sidelines (thus, not practicing what I preach...)

Less than 24 hrs before departure....excited!

 I just watched video. If I did that they would have to call the parametics to re start my heart or at least pry it out of my teeth and tuck it back in place! :o
